Abstract

Groundwater and surface water samples were collected at several sampling points within a 30km radius of the Akola district region between 16/08/2014 and 16/02/2015. A total of twenty water samples were examined in the laboratory to determine their physical and chemical characteristics. Laboratory tests were conducted to analyses several parameters including pH, EC, ORP, BOD, Hardness, Alkalinity, Chlorides, TDS, and DO. The results were compared to the drinking water quality standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the ISI Standard. When the findings were compared, it was found that certain water samples did not meet one or more of the parameters specified in the drinking water quality standards. Several samples exhibited significant contamination levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). The significance and utility, as well as the lack of utility, of these indicators in forecasting the characteristics of ground water surface water quality were discussed.
